Well if you read my post instead of providing nothing of actual substance, it would read that even once I have rolled back the firmware I cannot view the windows shares. I WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS.
IT MEANS SOMETHING IS FISHY WITH YOUR NETWORK, GENIUS. Can’t be that difficult? If it worked fine on 1.16.13 and now doesn’t when you do a fallback on it , how is the 1.16.13 at fault?
And don’t give me that keyboard warrior BS, I’ve been using 3 WDTV LIVEs on my network for years and I’ve just upgraded to 2.01.86 on yet another network where the windows shares and NAS shares too are fully operational (without changing any settings on the connected Win7 machines).
And before you waste your fishy breath on another pointless comeback, how about joining Tony in helping you guys finding out what’s wrong?
This is a workaround. When will a update be available that fixes this issue?
In what way is this a workaround. Have you tried it? If it works for you then I assume that it will continue to work and therefore can be considered a fix.
I had the very same problem and after trying every possible way to fix this (including anything mentioned in this thread) and nothing seemed to work, I decided (thinking this would never work, but I already tried everything else) go into “Files” instead of “Videos” to connect to the Windows Network Share and it picked it up instantly!! After it was set up (username + password) and I was able to see the files, I went back to the “Videos” section and now it picked it up instantly as well. It sounds almost to simple to be true, but it worked for me.
